  • Patent number: 8296250
    Abstract: A system and method for protecting identity fraud are disclosed. A system includes a detection subsystem to identify applications and/or accounts at risk of identity fraud, and a disposition subsystem to process data provided by the detection system and to determine whether identity fraud exists in the applications and/or accounts. According to an implementation, one or more neural network models are defined, each neural network model being configured to handle a class of cases related to the subject and a specific data configuration describing a case of the class. The one or more neural network models are run to generate data requests about the subject's identity, and the data requests are passed to a detection system that monitor transactions associated with the subject. Additional data associated with the transactions is requested until a threshold certainty is achieved or until available data or models are exhausted.

  • Patent number: 8296205
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for developing financial risk decisions for a customer associated with a number of different financial services/channels are disclosed. A hierarchy of relationships among the financial services/channels is generated. Transactional behaviors of the customer related to each of the financial services/channels is summarized, using one or more analytical approaches executed on the hierarchy of relationships, to generate a customer level transactional behavior summary. A customer profile associated with the customer is generated which includes the transactional behavior summary and aggregated information on recent financial transactions associated with each of the financial services/channels.

  • Patent number: 8296225
    Abstract: A system and method for maintaining a pre-defined score distribution for financial transactions are disclosed. A number of memory spaces are defined for a memory structure. Transaction data for the financial transactions is received by the system. Each of the financial transactions is scored based on the transaction data to generate a batch of scores for the financial transactions. A score range is divided into k bins, where each of the k bins representing one memory space of the memory spaces of the memory structure. The batch of scores are aggregated by storing a count of each score of the batch of scores in an associated memory space of the plurality of memory spaces, and a percentile is computed for each score in the batch of scores based on a set of values associated with the count of each score. Each new financial transaction is scored to generate a new score, and a new percentile is assigned to the new score according to the set of values.

  • Patent number: 8280836
    Abstract: Data characterizing a desired variable order and an unordered graph can be received so that all paths in the unordered graph can be enumerated and a first path in the unordered graph can be leveled according to the desired variable order in a first oblivious read once decision graph. For each additional path other than the first path, the additional path is leveled in the desired order, nodes of the additional path are added to the first oblivious read once decision graph, and a union operation is performed on the first oblivious read once decision graph to union graph roots on the first oblivious read once decision graph. Thereafter, generation of a second oblivious read once decision graph can be initiated after completing processing of the first path and each additional path. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
